Resort Damgan

Booking your holiday at the sea to Damgan. Damgan covers an area of 1016 hectares and has 1167 residents, with its population swelling to more than 30000 in summer. It is attached to the canton (district) of Muzillac, in the arrondissement (area) of Vannes, in the Morbihan departement (county). The area is bordered to the South by the Atlantic Ocean, and to the North by the Pénerf River, the maritime section of the Drayac River. The village occupies a low-lying, very flat area and has a long coastline. This means the sea is omnipresent, and has dominated all local activities since time immemorial: shops, salt marshes, oyster farming, and tourism. Occasionally, storms, tidal waves or coastal erosion make it necessary to undertake work to protect the dunes from the encroaching sea by building defences (rip rap) or sea walls. From the furthest recesses of prehistory to the present day, the feature that best characterises this area is the unchanging nature of the human habitat. The locals are also great lovers of seafood. The evidence for this is left for all to see: huge piles of empty shells!
